Longford residents attend the Outdoor Recreation Forum information session
Attendees were invited to give feedback on the development of a new Outdoor Recreation Forum and its role in supporting outdoor recreation opportunities across Longford.
The future of outdoor recreation was the topic of discussion at an information session in Ballymahon Library recently, where attendees shared their ideas and feedback on the development of a new Outdoor Recreation Forum and its role in supporting outdoor recreation opportunities across the county.
The event featured a presentation from Outdoor Recreation Officer Mark Noble, who provided an overview of the pilot initiative and outlined the next steps for the Outdoor Recreation Forum.
The session was designed for members of local outdoor clubs, including fishing and horse-riding groups, outdoor recreation businesses such as bike or boat hire providers, and individuals who enjoy activities like walking, swimming, cycling or other outdoor pursuits.
A separate session was held in Granard where attendees again had the opportunity to share their ideas and feedback.
Lanesboro Cllr Seán Mimnagh who was in attendance at the Ballymahon event said there was “fantastic engagement” with the session.
Cllr Mimnagh said, “A huge congratulations to Outdoor Recreation Officer Mark Noble on delivering an excellent, interactive presentation. Mark provided a great overview of this exciting pilot, listened to everyone's ideas and feedback, and clearly outlined the next steps for the Outdoor Recreation Forum. It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm and positive discussion from those in attendance.”
